Get a file manager as powerful as the search engines with GO (offered by ic2) Search engines put huge data collections such as the web at everybody's fingertips. However, after all these years, users may still have difficulties locating or managing their own files in their own much-smaller file collections, even with search functionalities being available in the file managers. Now, GO-GetOrganized (integrated with Google Drive™) bridges the gap by allowing dynamic folders to be formed using search requests so that the folder-based file systems can get customized dynamically for different needs from different users at different times using "managed" searches. In GO-GetOrganized, you may hardly notice any differences between using the traditional folders and using the dynamic folders. But the benefit of having both the flexibilities of searches and the reliabilities of the folders (without the original file storage folders being changed in any way) will be obvious and significant.

And it only 'sees' data stored in your Google Drive and will NOT be able to 'create', 'edit', or 'delete' anything that affects your data in the Drive (except for the tags/descriptions set on files/folders when they are needed for the managing tasks). In other words, feel free to try out any functionality you see in the App - they are all very safe - nothing harmful can happen to any of your files when you try them. GO-GetOrganized is not a tool from Google.
